June: Trade Wind Grind
June marks the start of the low season in earnest. Average swell height is 4.5ft (1.4m), but period falls to 7.4s - short-period, disorganized energy. The swell is locked into N (39%) and NNE (28%) directions, with NNW (31%) mixed in. The wind is astonishingly consistent: NNE blows 63% of the time, mostly at 20-40kph, and ideal wind is just 4%. Because the direction is offshore, the surface is not always all chop, but the combination of strong wind and weak-period swell yields mostly bumpy, unorganized surf. Water temperature is 19.5°C, air averages 21.1°C.
